New England Storm Restoration

February 27, 2010

On Target Utility Locating, Pole Setting and Power Line Crews are out in force supporting the efforts of dozens of telecommunication and power utility companies after two major weather events.

Central Vermont Public Service (CVPS), Public Service of New Hampshire (PSNH), Central Maine Power (CMP), Fairpoint, Comcast, Verizon, National Grid, Western Mass Electric and Time Warner are just some of the companies hit hard that On Target is helping out.

On Target locate technicians, power line and pole setting crews are working around the clock to get systems back up and running. Locate technicians are performing emergency dig safes on hundreds, possibly thousands, of utility poles in the New England area that were snapped in half due to winds reaching over 60 miles per hour. Power line and pole set crews have been working with CVPS, PSNH and CMP since mid day on Wednesday the 24th. At the peak of the outages there were over 400,000 outages at these three utilities alone!

Three full time fleet mechanics are on the road with the fleet service truck and back at the maintenance garage in Portland, Maine keeping up with all of the requests, assuring that the crews have safe working vehicles throughout the storm. Office, warehouse and Project Management personnel are covering the phones, computers, and GPS fleet system 24 hours a day to keep the communication flowing amongst the crews and customers.
